What landed on the kitchen counter this week - July 16 - 20th

By Jen

The girls have been at camp this week, but you wouldn't know it from all the activity around here. As you are reading this post we are off picking up our new puppy! Everything changes today...life around here changes. We can't wait. Here's what we got up to this week...
The July edition of the Summer Virtual Book Club for Kids took place on Monday...the girls fell in love with Audrey and Don Wood's book "Elbert's Bad Word"...we had fun imagining what words "look" like.
(things were quiet around here on Tuesday...shhhh)
Wednesday we jumped into the amazing Kids Get Arty challenge! I introduced the girls to Leonardo Da Vinci and the fresco painting technique...gotta love creating with the kids.
This week we invited readers into our local library branch in Toronto, the Beaches Branch. Find out why our library is so special to us!
We wrapped the week up with the Outdoor Play Party linky! Check out our fabulous biking adventure and find out how everyone has been playing outside...great inspiration!

Hope you have a great weekend...we can't wait to introduce you to our puppy next week!!
